A suggested upgrade procedure could be:
1) Create 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 install media 2) Backup all VMs 3) Pull OS drive, replace with new, disconnect any secondary drives or also replace with new 4) Attempt to install new OS- try 4.0.2 first. If problems, 4.0.1. 5) Try test restore of VM to OS drive 6) Reconnect secondary drives and restore all VMs Note you need twice the free space on your OS drive of the largest VM in your system for a restore. -- - don't top post Mailing list etiquette: - trim quoted reply to only relevant portions - when possible, copy and paste text instead of screenshots -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
